The Pearl Essay

A family of three, Kino, Juana, and Coyotio venture out searching for riches with their pearl, and a cure for Coyotio’s scorpion sting, but what they don’t know is that the pearl will bring evil and sorrow to the family. This story reminds me of a TV. show my brothers watch called Maya And Miguel, when Maya gets some strange ideas which causes her to meddle into other peoples lives, thinking it will help but turns out to be the complete opposite. The story teaches the reader that you may think something will turn out right but it does the opposite.


Evil spreads throughout the family, and all the problems are linked back to the pearl. Kino thinks he know what is best for his family but Juana knows something isn’t right, she tries to tell him to get rid of the pearl but he doesn’t listen, I think that Kino should’ve listened to Juana.


Although this story ended in sadness, I enjoyed it because I read books similar to this book, and I am familiar of death. To read more of these adventures and troubles find it in your local library today. “The Pearl” contains a very valuable lesson that gets learned by learning things don’t always go the way you want them to.
